A positive thought is more powerful than a negative thought.So focus on the positive aspects and stop worrying about the damage you can create.Good and bad things will still happen but it is your attitude towards them that will change things.In other words the bad stuff won't be as bad.Mark Twain once said "I spent most of my life worrying about things that were going to happen only to discover now that I am old that they didn't."The LOA to me is about learning that you have control of your life by the realisation that you are the creator of your reality and because of this you can be or do anything that you desire.
